ON THE COVER THE GATESWORTH

LOCALLY

Proud to Be Owned and Operated

hen The Gatesworth was created 33 years ago, its local founders, David Smith, Bob Leonard and Charlie Deutsch, had no independent senior living community models to work from. Instead, they focused on the kind of place they would want to live in: somewhere residential and independent, person-centered in its programs and services. “We decided to build The Gatesworth because we were passionate about helping older adults maintain their independence as long as possible,” Smith explains. “Our core values are based on residents having lots of choices and opportunities for privacy, [as well as] for group programs and activities.” Not only that, but The Gatesworth ensures that residents don’t feel constricted by having to maintain their living space or by needing to seek out the services offered by the community. “We empower people by making the entire environment accessible, inside and outside,” Deutsch says. “It makes the impossible possible with opportunities for life-enhancing experiences.” Resident Mary Mennig can confirm: “They have absolutely everything a person could need. I want to live a good life, and I think The Gatesworth is the place to do it.” Another resident, Ken Alexander, explains that after feeling cloistered in his former condominium, The Gatesworth has given him and his partner the

socialization they felt they needed. The Gatesworth understands that every resident should have the independence to choose his or her schedule and provides a wealth of activities for the most social or introverted. “You can unwind [or] keep busy all day long,” says resident Gloria Pasley, “whatever you desire.” She adds that The Gatesworth offers trips for everything from movies to concerts. These experiences wouldn’t be possible without the dedicated staff, something that was considered resident Gloria Pasley essential in the foundation of the community. “We’ve created a culture where the most important things to us as management are the residents and the employees,” Leonard says. “If the employees are happy, that transforms the service they provide for the residents.” “We look for employees that share our passion for helping older adults maintain their independence and lead joyous lives,” Smith adds. “We want The Gatesworth to be filled with the type of people that greet you with a smile – always.” Staff members also make it a priority to listen to residents’ feedback, regularly check in on their needs and work to say “yes” to any request. Each resident is treated as an individual by staff members who listen and explore residents’ life stories. “It’s like a little bit of heaven,” resident Bella Browne says. “The staff are the most caring people I have ever met.” With October being the 33rd anniversary – a third of a century – the community is planning to celebrate in style. Residents and their families can expect the exceptional food, entertainment and atmosphere that The Gatesworth is known for. After 33 years, The Gatesworth is still looking at ways to evolve, while keeping true to the values that guided its foundation. The founders and staff are aware that the decision to move into a senior living community is both emotional and personal, and strive to make the experience meaningful on an individual level. “Every person is unique,” Smith concludes. “Understanding that is very important to us at The Gatesworth.”

The Return of RSV By Dr. Joseph Kahn

ast winter, pediatricians were surprised and relieved to see fewer respiratory illnesses circulating. Both in pediatric offices and in hospitals, influenza and respiratory illnesses were almost nonexistent, and the strains of COVID-19 prevalent at the time did not affect children often. The lower numbers of respiratory illnesses last year was often attributed to mask-wearing in public spaces. This year, however, is expected to be a different story. With the delta variant circulating and fewer people masking, health care authorities expect to see a return of respiratory illnesses. The delta variant infects children more often and more severely, the 2021-22 influenza season is expected to be rough, and children are already presenting with what’s usually a cold-weather virus – respiratory syncytial virus. RSV is a highly contagious virus that most children have had by the time they turn 2. Common RSV symptoms are those consistent with an annoying head cold – nasal congestion, sore throat, mild headache, fever, general malaise and poor appetite. However, some children do develop such more serious symptoms as bronchiolitis or pneumonia. Children whose RSV turns to bronchiolitis or pneumonia sometimes require hospitalization and, more rarely, intensive care. Most RSV illnesses last about one week, although symptoms may persist longer. There are specific tests to differentiate RSV from influenza and from

COVID-19, but the RSV test is usually not necessary unless a child has underlying health conditions or is sick enough to require hospitalization. Treatment for RSV involves support with fluids, good attention to the significant amount of nasal congestion these children often experience and oxygen, if needed. Because RSV is a viral infection, antibiotics have no role in treatment. Currently, there is no vaccine to prevent RSV for healthy children, although a vaccine does exist to prevent RSV in seriously ill, immunocompromised babies. To prepare for the winter ahead, be sure you and your children both get the flu vaccine this season. Additionally, adults who haven’t already had the COVID-19 vaccine should do so as soon as possible, and children should also get a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as they’re eligible. To schedule your COVID-19 vaccination, please visit mercy.net/movaccine.

Dr. Joseph Kahn is president of Mercy Kids (mercykids.org), an expansive network of pediatric care dedicated to meeting the needs of every child, every day.

HEALTH NOTES

Investing in Progress W By Connie Mitchell

hen people of color are hospitalized, it’s unlikely they will receive nursing care from someone who looks like them. Although about 40 percent of the U.S. population is composed of ethnic and racial minority groups, about 80 percent of registered nurses are white, according to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing. The Saint Louis University Trudy Busch Valentine School of Nursing hopes to help make the nursing workforce look more like the overall population with a $2.1 million grant from the federal Health Resources and Services Administration. The grant funds four years of support for underrepresented minorities and disadvantaged students at the school. Dr. Teri Murray, professor and dean emerita, serves as project director. The school received two previous HRSA grants to support nursing

workforce diversity, and Murray says efforts have been successful. “We have seen an increase in the admission, retention and graduation of minoritized students because of changes in the standard admissions process to a holistic review process, the added academic support services and financial assistance through scholarships and stipends,” she continues. “The grant funds support the program’s operational aspects and provide tuition assistance and monthly stipends for the students.” The new grant will provide support for 10 students per year during the next four years. A new component of the grant focuses on faculty development, involving various strategies in the teaching-learning process, exploring topics such as cultural fluency, teaching in diverse classrooms and inclusive teaching strategies, among others. “There will also be a health-equity lecture series,” Murray says. She adds that the

underrepresentation of minorities in the RN workforce has serious health consequences and contributes to the disparities in health often seen in minority populations. “Evidence supports that minority nurses have experience with diverse populations’ cultural and contextual circumstances that enables them to address the root causes of health disparities more readily,” she says. “Diverse providers are more likely to serve diverse populations, increasing access and trust. Additionally, evidence shows that patients have improved communication and decision-making with providers of the same race, ethnicity and language. Diverse providers are also more likely to advocate for vulnerable and diverse populations. These are important factors if we hope to achieve health equity.”

AGAINST THE ODDS

The Climb

By Brittany Nay | Photos courtesy of Fight CRC

ast month, Katie Zahner completed a grueling climb to the top of one of California’s peaks and took a celebratory plunge into Lake Tahoe – all for her dad. It was part of the Ballwin resident’s role as a board member for national nonprofit Fight Colorectal Cancer, in which she advocates in honor of her dad, Bob Whitehead – a cancer survivor. In 2010, Whitehead was experiencing abdominal pain, change in bowel movements and fatigue. “He was a marathon runner, so he was in very good shape,” Zahner says. “He was having symptoms, which led him to go to the doctor.” At 58, Whitehead was diagnosed with stage IV colorectal cancer, which spread to his lymph nodes. After being given a 5 percent chance to survive beyond the five years of diagnosis, he underwent chemotherapy, radiation and surgery to remove the tumor. The cancer later metastasized to his liver, and he underwent two more surgeries to resect it. Multiple side effects, more surgeries and 11 years later, Whitehead remains in remission. Grateful for Whitehead’s survival, Zahner now wants to be a voice for him. “I want to spread awareness and raise funds for research,” she says. According to Fight CRC, colorectal cancer is the No. 2 cancer killer among men and women combined, and routine screenings could prevent 60 percent of colorectal cancer deaths. “Colorectal cancer hasn’t gotten the attention that others have,” Zahner notes. “There’s a stigma around it. People don’t really openly discuss it – some even have trouble saying the word – and they are hesitant to get screened for it. [However], I can assure you that the test is going to be easier to talk about and go through than going through a battle with cancer.” In May, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force released a new recommendation that screenings should begin at age 45 instead of 50. “Colorectal cancer used to be labeled ‘the old

man’s disease … Now so many young people are getting it,” Zahner notes. “A lot of our research [at Fight CRC] is surrounding early onset colorectal cancer and figuring out what’s really driving it in the younger age group.” Zahner’s 8-year-old daughter, Addie, has joined Fight CRC’s awareness efforts, from a virtual movie night fundraiser with her friends to the recent Climb for the Cure at Lake Tahoe, where she carried a sign reading: “I Climb for My Grandpa.”

“I explained to her that climbing the mountain is supposed to symbolize a battle with cancer – you have to push through just like they do,” Zahner says, noting that the more awareness is raised, the better. “We need people to get screened because that will save lives.”

Get Wild By Amanda Dahl | Bare Hands Rescue photos courtesy of Animal Planet

22 October 1, 2021 | LadueNews.com

Two local businesses, wildlife command cenTer and michael d. francis PresenTs, bring michael “bare hands” beran’s fanTasTical rescues To The small screen on animal PlaneT and discovery+ in Bare Hands rescue.

are Hands Rescue, which premiered in August on the TV channel Animal Planet and the Discovery+ streaming service, plus Animal Planet GO and additional streaming platforms, takes a closer look at wildlife rescue in the metro area. The star of the TV show, Michael Beran, teamed with Michael Francis of Michael D. Francis Presents, a local production company, to majorly impact the local economy by bringing the series, which spotlights unique animal rescues, to St. Louis. “[Beran’s] work translates to television so well because he is a genuine, great character,” Francis says. “He does a lot of things that most of us wouldn’t do. He is capable of explaining what he is doing – and he likes to talk. He has such knowledge about the animals.” Beran runs the Wildlife Command Center and four additional related divisions: Pest Command Center (rescuing people from insects), Raptor Rescue Inc. (rescue operations for birds of prey), Avian Strike Force (nuisance avian work) and Wildlife Command Center Movie Animals (animal training for film, theater and commercial work). “I rescue people from wild animals, mostly barehanded,” Beran says. “I get a lot of flak for using bare hands, but I don’t harm the animals, like some equipment can. I have a fondness for reptiles. The tongs we have available to use are really good, and most people should use them. However, you can break a snake’s ribs pretty easily, especially with metal tongs.” From chipmunks in the chimney to a coyote in the kitchen, Beran has seen a wide range of animal disturbances inside homes and businesses. Alongside his family and experienced technicians, Beran captures critters of all sorts and provides them first aid at the Wildlife Command Center until they can be released into a safer environment. “Everything that has a mouth can bite,” Beran warns of the danger of his job. “I always tell everybody what the plan is. Sure enough, about three-quarters of the way through, the animal doesn’t participate with the plan. Even if you do get bit, it’s just a little blood. It cleans up.” Beran explains that using his bare hands also enables him to react better to the animal he is rescuing. “When I use my bare hands, most snakes won’t bite,” he offers as an example. “I can feel the snake. If the snake is writhing too strong, I let go a little bit. If it’s being docile, I can hold it. I never have to squeeze it.” Sans equipment, Beran also can reach into places not easily accessible with tools, where animals commonly can be found cowering. “One thing that stands out is how he understands the psychology of animals, what they’re going to do and why they’re going to do it,” Francis says. “[It] makes him one of the best at catching things. Producing him is a breeze. He

makes it easy.” Originally hailing from Shreveport, Louisiana, Beran brought his business to St. Louis after touring several big cities. “My wife was awestruck,” Beran says. “The limestone bluffs caught her eye. St. Louis has an excellent airport, a great interstate infrastructure [and] three major waterways: the Mississippi, Meramec and Missouri rivers. It’s got old construction and a nice sprawl.” Since Beran moved Wildlife Command Center to the Gateway to the West in 2014, the business has doubled in size four years in a row. Now, through the television show, Beran and his family business are garnering even more attention. “My company is a St. Louis-based small company,” Francis says. “[Beran’s] business is small and St. Louisbased. You have two companies coming from the middle of nowhere trying to do big things. We were able to get great partners, like Critical Content, in this endeavor that helped take us to the next level.” According to a press release, Beran has “trained rattlesnakes for [the AMC TV channel’s] Breaking Bad, wrangled critters for Warner Bros., and a slew of TV shows, as well as shared his animal knowledge on numerous podcasts, YouTube videos and radio broadcast.” “I wanted to be really good at entertaining,” Beran says of entering show business. He took lessons in acting, lighting, sound, production and anything that could teach him more about the film industry. It wasn’t long before his work behind the scenes as an animal wrangler got him noticed by directors who then positioned him in front of their cameras in other productions. “Most people will find that our industry, which is nuisance wildlife control, starts with us caring,” he says. “We care about our customers, our employees, the animals. The animals got themselves into a situation that usually could be fatal. I want to resolve the issue, so the homeowner could have their home back and the animal can be taken to a better location, with fewer people and more habitat.” Michael D.

ST. JOSEPH’S ACADEMY Feature Story

Education That Serves

theWholeWoman By Maggie Peters | Photos courtesy of St. Joseph’s Academy

t. Joseph’s Academy was founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet, a community of Catholic sisters who settled in south St. Louis from France. They began the school for young women in 1840 and built on their vision to provide quality Catholic education for the whole woman. “The sisters were always visionaries in their thinking,” says principal of academic affairs Jennifer Sudekum. “We still embody their charism, or their spirit, of ‘serving the Dear neighbor without distinction’ [to race or background].” Today the school still follows that vision through providing students with cutting-edge technology in all subjects. The wide variety of courses spans the STEM fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics – something the school focused on before it was a common practice – as well as the humanities. “The curriculum is rigorous by design, with 49 AP [Advanced Placement] and duel credit courses,” Sudekum confirms. “Our computer science and engineering department is cutting-edge with four courses in engineering, including robotics. There are arts and performing arts classes, and options for each of the core areas.” St. Joseph’s Academy has recently opened its Weidert Center for Integrated Science, as well as the Sisters of St. Joseph Humanities Hall – a center for visual arts on the second floor – illustrating the school’s dedication to a balanced education. St. Joseph’s Academy also encourages students to join one of a wide array of extracurricular clubs, sports and

organizations, providing empowering experiences and relationships. “We are so grateful that we can be back together in assembly and sporting events,” Sudekum adds. “Having the community back together has been really great. You can feel the St. Joseph’s Academy spirit when you walk through our school.” The school also will be upgrading its library in 2022, creating a space that will inspire more collaborative learning and provide enriched academic experiences. “We are always looking for opportunities to improve, and this is the next area,” Sudekum says. “We are grateful to an alumna for donating this exciting and important renovation.” Sudekum concludes that the legacy of the sisters is integral to the community. “Our motto is ‘Not I, but we,’” she says, “and that is reflected in everything we do.” St. Joseph’s Academy, 2307 S.

Room to Grow By Andrea Smith | Photo by Alise O’Brien

s children grow up, their grandparents’ home might serve as an exciting retreat, a safe haven or a time capsule of memories – or perhaps all of these throughout different stages of their lives. With this in mind, Laurie LeBoeuf, an interior designer at Clayton’s Castle Design, configured a kids’ guest bedroom that embodies comfort and has the potential to adapt to a family’s needs over time. “I wanted to create a space that would be calming, yet fun,” LeBoeuf describes. “This was a special project, as I was designing the space for my own daughter and nephews to use.” Primary inspiration for this design came from Romo’s Camille fabric, which features a painterlystyle floral pattern. Chesterfield-based company Sew Soft Draperies made the custom window

curtains with this fabric and the matching bolster on the bed. “I pulled the rest of the materials together based on this fun pattern and design,” LeBoeuf says. She assembled a color palette that would please her parents, daughter and nephews, one that “consists of soft, soothing tones, with brighter, more saturated blues, aqua tones and a variety of green shades mixed in.” Such a bright room with distinctive patterns and textures stands out in this Frontenac home. “The majority of the home consists of a soft, neutral palette, but here, we were able to incorporate two of my parents’ favorite colors together in one space,” LeBoeuf contextualizes. In an online post about this project, fellow Castle Design interior designer Meghan Heeter notes that the Schumacher Twiggy wallcovering

“provides a delicate statement on the headboard wall while the matelassé bedding and cable-knit ottoman fabric adds soft texture.” Heeter continues: “The furniture is a clever mix of cost-effective and investment pieces that stand up to busy children, while adding bright bursts of color. The animal print artwork and scalloped drum shade fixture offer a charming vintage appeal.” In that light, LeBoeuf advocates for mixing and matching various elements for elevated visual interest: “Do not be afraid to mix patterns and texture! I love to create spaces combining patterns that consist of small, medium and largescale prints.”

Vintage

Gone Viral

By Alecia Humphreys | Photos supplied

Resplendent Crow has become a favorite of metro area interior designers for its gorgeous lacqueredfurniture services.

hen Sucheta Bhide set out to create a reading nook in her new home in 2014, little did she know that her hunt for a high-gloss accent table would actually lead her to launch The Resplendent Crow – her illustrious lacquered-furniture business that has basically made vintage go viral. “There were not a lot of options for the highgloss, vintage-type furniture that I was getting excited about,” Bhide says. “I found a table at one of the local antique malls and said, ‘I guess I’m gonna paint it in high gloss.’ I started researching highgloss paint and kind of went down this rabbit hole.” Bhide says she was so excited about her results that she also painted a dresser for her bedroom.

october 1, 2021 | LadueNews.com

“I was like, ‘Wow, I really like this,’” Bhide recalls. “‘I guess I’m gonna paint more furniture.’ I bought a compressor and then did all kinds of R&D and started spraying furniture out of my garage.” Although she initially listed furniture on Craigslist, she soon switched to Etsy, which is where she sold her first finished furnishing: a French Provincial bedroom set. “Somebody from Casper, Wyoming, inquired about that item, and I was like, ‘I don’t even know where Wyoming is, forget Casper,’” says Bhide, who is originally from India, with a laugh. “But she wanted to purchase the piece, and I’m like, ‘I have no idea.’ So I did some research on shipping it to her.” Bhide says the shipping alone was $500, but the customer was sold on the set. “She was thrilled with the piece,” Bhide says. “She thought that it was beautiful. I realized there’s a market for this vintage, high-gloss furniture. Next thing I know, it just went from my garage, into a small, 1,000-square-foot warehouse, which I outgrew really fast, and I got into a 10,000-square-foot warehouse, which I’m outgrowing really fast. So basically, it just kind of snowballed, and it just got bigger and bigger.” Bhide’s warehouse is full of anywhere between 500 and 700 pieces of vintage furniture (think china cabinets, coffee tables, nightstands and more) ready to be refinished – assuming, of course, clients don’t already have a piece they are wanting painted. “I just love the vintage hardware, the lines, the curves,” Bhide says. “The new furniture you buy today is very boxy, simple and flat because it’s easy to make, easy to transport from Vietnam or where it’s generally made. Vintage furniture has so many details.” Although The Resplendent Crow mainly refinishes vintage furniture from the ’50s and ’60s and some from the ’30s and ’40s, Bhide is also excited to share that The Resplendent Crow is branching out into building new vintage-inspired furniture, as well. “Some people might be hesitant in buying a used dresser because they have an idea that they want a new piece of furniture or they want modern, soft-close glides,” Bhide explains. “They don’t want to fight with an old dresser not working or functioning – old dressers do have a bit of a quirk to them.” Bhide’s husband, Eric, a cabinet-maker by trade, has been busy building everything from writing desks to credenzas to vanities and more – all of which are available in one of Bhide’s beautifully bold, high-gloss, lacquer colors. “I think there’s very few people out there who are doing the super high-gloss that I do,” Bhide says. “I pick certain styles that are really, really popular, like bamboo style. Plus, I also use lots and lots of colors. I use reds and oranges and teals and turquoise and things like that. I’ll use really big, chunky hardware. … We just really like what we do. We like working with our hands. It’s very, very rewarding work.” The Resplendent Crow, 6201 Maple Ave., University City, 314-255-3242, the-resplendent-crow.business.site

Kelly Johnson Design For this master suite nestled in the woods, Kelly Johnson of Kelly Johnson Design sought a calm, tranquil ambiance to provide a sanctuary from busy schedules and overstimulation. Serenity can be achieved in a variety of ways; for this project, Johnson layered such neutrals as ivory, bisque and oyster to achieve coziness without detracting from the treehouse view. Organic elements reinforce the setting, including a stained, coffered ceiling, a jutewrapped chandelier and natural fibers. Johnson notes that even when embracing a more minimal aesthetic, layering remains essential to creating a room that feels finished.

Six Mile Bridge By Mabel Suen

n the eve of its sixth anniversary, Maryland Heights’ Six Mile Bridge has a brand-new food menu from an acclaimed chef that was designed specifically with the brewery’s products in mind. Ben Welch joined Six Mile Bridge as its executive chef this past summer and will also lead its upcoming Italian concept, Botanica. His menu at the brewery’s tasting room debuted in August. “I love building teams and creating concepts, menus and recipes,” Welch says. “[Co-owner] Ryan [Sherring] is a great guy and lets me do my thing. The reception of the Six Mile menu has been mind-blowing, and I’m excited for the quick growth of the kitchen.” Welch worked with chef de cuisine Stephen Kovac to assemble the offerings, leaving only one item from the former bill of fare intact: warm pretzel bites with pepper jack queso and Irish

56 October 1, 2021 | LadueNews.com

red ale mustard. Familiar favorites on the menu from Welch’s repertoire include a double smash cheeseburger with fry sauce, tomato jam and American cheese on an egg bun, while newer offerings include a Greek quinoa bowl with black quinoa, hummus with preserved lemon, feta, red onion, cucumber, tomato, jam and tzatziki. Dishes were created to pair well with the brewery’s beverages, but Six Mile’s beer is also used in some of the items. The Reuben sandwich’s corned beef, for instance, is prepared with the brewery’s dry Irish stout, and the flourless chocolate torte features ganache infused with Six Mile Bridge Blood Orange Wit. Additional menu highlights include a Nashville chicken sandwich with green goddess-ranch dressing, dill pickles, butter lettuce and Nashville sauce on an egg bun, as well as flash-fried Brussels sprouts with lemon, aioli and Parmesan.

“When we first announced our collaboration, the biggest response was people wondering whether or not we had barbecue here,” says Welch, who has gained a following for his barbecue brand, Big Baby Q and Smokehouse. “Unfortunately, we don’t have a smoker, but that’s definitely not out of the realm of possibility for future endeavors. It feels good to be creating new food for St. Louis.”

ARTS SPEAK

Mapping the Lou By Bryan A. Hollerbach Photos courtesy of Craft Alliance

he works in Alicia Piller’s St. Louisfocused “Unearthed: Time Keeping Mound City” collectively read like a free-range kaleidoscope. That exhibition from Piller, a Los Angelesbased artist, runs another two-plus weeks, till Oct. 23, in the Staenberg Gallery at Craft Alliance in St. Louis’ Central West End neighborhood. Stefanie Kirkland, who serves as the organization’s deputy director and who both oversees its exhibition program and curates its gallery, explains what, specifically, inspired Craft Alliance to offer this opportunity to Piller. “I saw Alicia’s work at the Craft Contemporary [a nonprofit, non-collecting arts museum] in Los Angeles,” Kirkland says. “She was teaching a teen workshop, and I was immediately enthralled with her work and took a deeper dive. “I learned that she was using so many materials and techniques that are based in craft and thought that she’d be a great artist to bring to our new home in the Delmar Maker District. She’s really pushing the boundaries of craft materials in an exciting way.” From that initial assessment, Kirkland further reflects about opening a dialogue with Piller. “Her art practice is centered around how we live on this planet and how fossils and plant life continue to grow around us as we move across the land and build civilizations,” she says. “She approaches her work through her training in anthropology and studies America through a social-political lens. “After being invited to have a solo show in St. Louis, she was finally able to examine a city as an object, really homing in on how we built our culture … This was something she was thinking very hard about, and [Piller] was looking for the opportunity to dive into a city. As a native-born Chicagoan, she was excited to study the Midwest.” Kirkland and Piller collaborated closely on filling the Staenberg, the former relates. “She typically works really large, and this was a challenge for her,” Kirkland says. “Considering shipping limitations and narrative, she focused on wall works.

It’s really wonderful to have this work continue an important conversation about race and history. There’s so much to learn from and reflect on. STEFANIE KIRKLAND, DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF THE STAENBERG GALLERY AT CRAFT ALLIANCE

“There are 12 pieces in the show, some that are intimate and only 2 feet big to some that are as large as 7 to 8 feet tall. All the pieces are in order and take you on a journey from when this city was under [the] sea to Cahokia to now.” Kirkland discusses some of the exhibition’s works in greater detail. “All the pieces stand out in their own way,” she says. “To me, they’re always in motion on the wall. The piece Pathways, mapping injustices. can pull you in by the intense red color, and then you investigate further, and

there’s the narrative of Dred Scott. “For me, I’m drawn to Psychological seeds overgrown. Wildflowers blaze a path. This is the final piece in the show and has an incredible amount of energy. It’s a large work, 75 inches by 85 inches, and holds within all the research and imagery from all the other works in the show. It leaves us with a sense of wonderment about the future.” Finally, Kirkland mulls which particular pieces from “Unearthed” thus far have attracted the most attention. “That’s a hard question to answer – many folks are drawn for so many different reasons,” she says. “I would say from my perspective that the pieces with more social-political markers in them have created the most conversation. “The piece Trial and error., about the Mike Brown situation, and Wrought-iron fences. Cultivating divides., about the 1917 East St. Louis riots, stimulate a lot of conversation. “It’s really wonderful to have this work continue an important conversation about race and history. There’s so much to learn from and reflect on.”

READY READERS

Autumn Delights By Sheila Oliveri

ctober brings with it the timeless tradition of visiting area pumpkin farms to celebrate fall. To prepare for this year’s seasonal trek, Ready Readers recommends an autumn adventure: Runaway Pumpkins by writer Teresa Bateman and illustrator Stephanie Fizer Coleman. Bateman’s rhyming text and Coleman’s bright illustrations paint a lyrical picture of a class field trip to a pumpkin farm. The story opens with children boarding the school bus, eagerly anticipating the fun ahead. On arriving at the farm, the children spill from the bus to see more pumpkins than they’d ever imagined: “Pumpkins big and pumpkins tiny; Short and fat and dull and shiny. Bumpy, lumpy, straight or curvy; Really round or topsy-turvy.” The students pick the pumpkins they love best, and all are loaded onto the bus – children in their seats, pumpkins latched in the outside hatches. As the bus rolls back to school, children

excitedly envision their pumpkins carved with wide eyes and crooked smiles. Unbeknown to them, though, calamity strikes beneath their feet as the storage doors pop open, spilling the plump treasures along the road and down a hill to houses below. Neighbors gather amid the bumped and bruised pumpkins scattered about and contemplate what to do: “They gather pumpkins all a-tizzy; Take them home and then get busy.” Meanwhile, the bus arrives at school, and the children anxiously await the unloading: “Teachers hear the cries of woe, ‘Where did all the pumpkins go?’” Disappointment descends when the students learn only one pumpkin survived the mishap, but they rally and decide to decorate the lone prized squash together. The next day brings more happiness: “The students

rejoice, what a happy surprise! Our pumpkins are back, but they came in disguise.” To solve the riddle of the reappearing pumpkins, visit your local library or bookstore to read the story’s sweet (and savory) resolution.

Tuning in on

St. Louis’ Sound

By Andrea Smith | Photos courtesy of the Missouri Historical Society

A new, 6,000-square-foot exhibition at the Missouri History Museum makes the case that St. Louis has played a significant role in shaping various music genres.

When you look across St. Louis’ genres of music, you find all of these incredible stars that have completely changed American music as we know it.” – ANDREW WANKO

t. Louis is known for many things – the Gateway Arch, professional sports teams, toasted ravioli – but is perhaps lesser recognized for its influence on and contributions to the American music industry. “St. Louis Sound,” a new exhibition displayed over 6,000 square feet at the Missouri History Museum in St. Louis’ Forest Park, aims to make known the role the metro area has played in shaping various musical genres. “St. Louis is undeniably one of the most important American musical cities there is,” says Andrew Wanko, public historian and content lead for “St. Louis Sound.” “When you look across St. Louis’ genres of music, you find all of these incredible stars that have completely changed American music as we know it. These weren’t just popular musicians – like Scott Joplin and Chuck Berry, Tina Turner, Miles Davis – these were genre-defining musicians that everyone who came after had to answer to.” St. Louis is “situated at the geographic and cultural crossroads of the country,” a Missouri History Museum press release states. Wanko thinks that position has allowed musicians in the city to “absorb the nation’s sounds and combine them with our own homegrown sounds.” About 200 artifacts were secured to illustrate a musical history “from the dawn of recorded sound to Nelly’s Country Grammar,” a diamond platinum rap album inspired by St. Louis. “The point was to give people this sort of crash course in St.

Louis music history, so then they can go out with a better appreciation and experience it even bigger on their own,” Wanko explains. Artifacts on display include the St. Louis tinfoil, or the earliest known recording of a musical performance, recorded by St. Louisan Thomas Mason in 1878; instruments played by Chuck Berry, Miles Davis and others; showstopping apparel worn by Tina Turner, Willie Mae Ford Smith and others; and even a reproduction of the St. Louis County intake mugshot of Guns N’ Roses singer Axl Rose taken after the infamous 1991 Riverport riot. “We didn’t want to create a list of the most important St. Louis musicians or a hall of fame with some people in and some people out,” Wanko says regarding the decision of which stars would be featured in the exhibition. The goal was to showcase a variety of musicians and novelty notes, from “the greatest hits to the deeper cuts.” “When you come visit the ‘St. Louis Sound’ gallery, you’re going

to see artifacts from most of the big St. Louis names,” Wanko continues. “But you’re also going to see artifacts from St. Louisans you might not have heard of before who are just as important.” Visitors to the museum may simultaneously read about the history of popular music in St. Louis while listening to the sounds and voices of musical legends who called the city home at some point or at least passed through it. On entering the exhibition, use a smartphone to scan the QR code on the wall and open a curated playlist. The songs are numbered to correspond with numbered record symbols scattered across the gallery, so when you’re learning about Scott Joplin and his best-known hit, “The Entertainer,” you can hear the tune with your own ears. Wanko recommends visitors bring their own headphones to allow an optimal audio experience for all in the gallery. Additionally, a separate playlist has been created on the music streaming service and app Spotify. The Missouri History Museum’s “St. Louis Sound” playlist on this platform provides a sample of songs ideal for listening on the go. “St. Louis Sound” is scheduled to remain on display through Jan. 22, 2023. Admission is free during museum hours, Tuesday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Missouri Historical Society, 5700 Lindell Blvd., St. Louis, 314-746-4599, mohistory.org/museum LadueNews.com | OctOber 1, 2021
